Arise O Lord; save me, O my God! For Thou has smitten all my enemies on the cheek; Thou hast shattered the teeth of the wicked. Salvation belongs to the Lord; Thy blessing be upon Thy people" - Psalm 3:7-8One of the blessing of being God's people is that He will give our enemies a really good beating. But before we have any wild thoughts about so & so, we need to be reminded that our enemies are not flesh and blood but principalities and power, the rulers and authority of the dark world.
